College Admissions Coaching
Every student approaches the college process differently.
Some need high-level strategy and expert guidance.
Others benefit from more structure, accountability, and steady partnership.
I offer three levels of support so families can choose the experience that best fits their student.
Our Services
The Head Start Path

This track is designed for students who are ready to plan early and create clarity around their academic, extracurricular, and personal goals — setting themselves up for a confident and strategic college journey in the years ahead.
This experience includes:
Goal-setting and academic planning for future college readiness
Exploration and alignment of extracurricular interests
Time management and study strategies
Personalized check-ins and milestone guidance

The Milestone Path
For motivated, independent students who benefit from expert guidance and thoughtful oversight.
This track is designed for high-functioning students who are capable of managing deadlines and tasks — but want a strategic partner to ensure they make smart, aligned decisions throughout the process.
This experience includes:

Application review before submission
1:1 student sessions (scheduled at key milestones)

Respond well to clear direction
Can implement guidance independently
Benefit from expert perspective without needing ongoing accountability
The Full Support Path
For high-potential students who benefit from additional structure, accountability, and personalized guidance.
Some students are bright, thoughtful, and capable — but don’t thrive in a fast-moving, self-directed process. They may need help breaking tasks down, managing timelines, or building momentum.
This track offers a deeper level of partnership and support.
This experience includes:
Everything in The Milestone Path, plus:
More frequent 1:1 sessions
Ongoing accountability and task management
Structured milestone planning
Parent coaching and communication support
Organizational tools and workflow systems
Extended essay development and feedback cycles
Calm, steady guidance through moments of overwhelm
The result:
A supported, organized, and emotionally grounded application process — where the student feels understood and capable.
This track works best for students who:
Benefit from structure and check-ins
Need help translating goals into action
May struggle with executive functioning or stress management
Thrive with a steady, relational guide
How Families Choose
During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss:
Your student’s working style
Level of independence
Timeline and goals
Family communication dynamics
Together, we’ll determine which track best supports both the student’s success and the family’s peace of mind.

What Makes This Different
This is not a volume-based service.
I intentionally limit the number of students I work with each year to ensure:
Personalized attention
Thoughtful strategy
Consistent availability
Deep understanding of each student
Whether local to the Columbia Gorge or working virtually from across the country, families receive the same calm, individualized experience.
